Description
The outrageous story of three best friends, one greedy mayor and a whole lot of pranking.
Green Peas is our name and pranking's our game!
A symphony of alarm clocks at assembly? Yep, that was us. A stampede of fluffy guinea pigs? It's next on our agenda.
But for me, Cookie and Zeke, it's about more than just fun. We're determined to make a difference. And when the adults won't listen, us kids will find a way to be heard - as long as we can stay out of detention!
No activist is too small, no prank too big... and things are about to get personal.
